Monday Morning Commute - Denial

Good morning.

The owner of the car seen in a viral video intentionally hitting a cyclist and then driving away turned himself in to police. "The case against John W. Diehl, a retired Metropolitan Police Department officer, has stalled for several months as authorities were apparently unable to serve him a judicial summons ordering him to show up for court. A spokesman for the D.C. attorney general said Mr. Diehl will be formally charged when he appears in court with leaving the scene after a collision causing personal injury and leaving the scene after a collision causing property damage." Mr Diehl is denying involvement in the crash.

MTA has shown new plans for the CCT through the Silver Spring Tranist Center. The trail will now be higher up - on the third level on the station - but on a different level than the train station. "The trail would will hold straight and to a 12+ foot width through the station, but there would be a sharp turn at the south end of the station where the CCT would meet the MetBranch Trail."

William Miller, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, said Friday that prosecutors are continuing to investigate the case and that no charges have been filed.
